Back to the Splashing Hands thing ... does it seem plausible that it's actually some kind of Tonbeiquan in origin?
Compare that original video of Tongbei with this video:

Or it could be a type of Fanzi Quan, which is kinda similar to splashing hands too and to tong bei.
Being that splashing hands has some kind of southern china connection, it might be related to Yue Jia San Shou, which is kinda like tong bei and fanzi quan as well.

It does look like some kinds of Fanzi -Chuo Jiao, the telltale sign is that raised heel / sideways foot thing he keep doing.
I've seen that foot thing in Cuffed Hands Fanzi Quan and in Mandarin Duck 9 Jade Rings Fanzi-Chuojiao sets.
It's not found in any other styles (except now in this Splashing Hands).
